Code Reader for all GM Modules

[800DiagTech]

I have a shop scan tool that reads DTCs from all my GM modules, but (annoyingly) does not fetch history DTCs. But since I have a OBDLink LX+ - which supports J1850 GM Class II Serial VPW - I wrote an android app to fetch the current and historical DTCs from all my modules.


Which makes me wonder: is there already an app that can read current and historical DTCs from all of the modules on J1850 GM Class II Serial VPW network?

An app is not necessary. You can directly query the network using an ELM327 adapter and a serial terminal app like Kai Morich Serial Terminal.

Below is the command sequence I use to get MIL, Current & Pending DTC's for all modules on my '03 Suburban:
ATZ
ATSPA2
ATH1
ATS1
ATAL
ATSH6CFEF1
1980FF00
1902FF0
1940FF0

The output will be in HEX but is easily converted. The attached Excel spreadsheet translates the HEX into text (note: depending on the vehicle you may need to edit the module addresses).

Yeah using AT commands for ELM327 and Kai's terminal app is great, and I have used it a bunch for network sniffing.

My goal is purely convenience. I'm looking strictly for an automated Android app that does the heavy lifting instantly on a phone. If a polished app that reads GM history codes across all modules doesn't already exist, I'll just finish building my own.
